1st & 2nd Order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis Methods
1.0 Overview
Spatial Point Pattern Analysis is the evaluation of the pattern or distribution, of a set of points on a surface. The point can be location of:
events such as crime, traffic accident and disease onset, or
business services (coffee and fastfood outlets) or facilities such as childcare and eldercare.
Using appropriate functions of spatstat, this hands-on exercise aims to discover the spatial point processes of childecare centres in Singapore.
The specific questions we would like to answer are as follows:
are the childcare centres in Singapore randomly distributed throughout the country?
if the answer is not, then the next logical question is where are the locations with higher concentration of childcare centres?
2.0 Data Packages Used
CHILDCARE |
Point feature data providing both location and attribute information of childcare centres. It was downloaded from Data.gov.sg and is in geojson format. |
MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL |
Polygon feature data providing information of URA 2014 Master Plan Planning Subzone boundary data. It is in ESRI shapefile format. This data set was also downloaded from Data.gov.sg. |
CostalOutline |
Polygon feature data showing the national boundary of Singapore. It is provided by SLA and is in ESRI shapefile format. |
3.0 Installing & Loading R Packages
| sf | a relatively new R package specially designed to import, manage and process vector-based geospatial data in R. |
| spatstat | which has a wide range of useful functions for point pattern analysis. In this hands-on exercise, it will be used to perform 1st- and 2nd-order spatial point patterns analysis and derive kernel density estimation (KDE) layer. |
| raster | which reads, writes, manipulates, analyses and model of gridded spatial data (i.e. raster). In this hands-on exercise, it will be used to convert image output generate by spatstat into raster format. |
| maptools | which provides a set of tools for manipulating geographic data. In this hands-on exercise, we mainly use it to convert Spatial objects into ppp format of spatstat. |
| tmap | which provides functions for plotting cartographic quality static point patterns maps or interactive maps by using leaflet API |
I install and launch the packages using the code chunk below

4.2.1 Using the mapping methods you learned in Hands-on Exercise 3, prepare a map as shown below.
tmap_mode("plot")tmap mode set to plottingtm_shape(mpsz_sf) + tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(childcare_sf) +
tm_dots(size= 0.001) 
Note: All the geospatial layers are within the same map extend. This shows that their referencing system and coordinate values are referred to similar spatial context. This is very important in any geospatial analysis.
Alternatively, we can also prepare a pin map by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode('view')tmap mode set to interactive viewingtm_shape(childcare_sf) + tm_dots()tmap_mode('plot')tmap mode set to plottingReminder: Always remember to switch back to plot mode after the interactive map. This is because, each interactive mode will consume a connection. You should also avoid displaying ecessive numbers of interactive maps (i.e. not more than 10) in one RMarkdown document when publish on Netlify.
5.0 Geospatial Data Wrangling
In this section, I will convert simple feature data frame to sp’s Spatial* class.
5.1 Converting sf data frames to sp’s Spatial* class
The code chunk below uses as_Spatial() of sf package to convert the three geospatial data from simple feature data frame to sp’s Spatial* class.
childcare <- as_Spatial(childcare_sf)
mpsz <- as_Spatial(mpsz_sf)
sg <- as_Spatial(sg_sf)5.1.1 Using appropriate function, display the information of these three Spatial* classes as shown below.

5.2 Converting the Spatial* class into generic sp format
spatstat requires the analytical data in ppp object form. There is no direct way to convert a Spatial* classes into ppp object. We need to convert the Spatial classes* into Spatial object first.
The codes chunk below converts the Spatial* classes into generic sp objects.
childcare_sp <- as(childcare, "SpatialPoints")
sg_sp <- as(sg, "SpatialPolygons")Display the sp objects properties as shown below:
childcare_spclass : SpatialPoints

5.3 Converting the generic sp format into spatstat’s ppp format
Now, we will use as.ppp() function of spatstat to convert the spatial data into spatstat’s ppp object format.
Using st_coordinates and st_bbox:
childcare_ppp <- as.ppp(st_coordinates(childcare_sf), st_bbox(childcare_sf))Warning: data contain duplicated pointsWithout these functions:
childcare_ppp_toClean <- as.ppp(childcare_sf)Warning in as.ppp.sf(childcare_sf): only first attribute column is used for
marksPlot childcare_ppp and examine the difference.
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(childcare_ppp)
plot(childcare_ppp_toClean)Warning in default.charmap(ntypes, chars): Too many types to display every type
as a different characterWarning: Only 10 out of 1545 symbols are shown in the symbol map
Question to address:
Why is there a difference in the data presented for childcare_ppp?
Upon further exploration, using st_coordinates and the st_bbox limits the data extracted to that of the spatial data. We see that due the warning
only first attribute column is used for marks, further processing of the data is needed as the Description Column actually embeds the data and needs parsing before it is usable.

1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 If we want to know how many locations have more than one point event, we can use the code chunk below.
sum(multiplicity(childcare_ppp) > 1)[1] 128The output shows that there are 128 duplicated point events.
To view the locations of these duplicate point events, we will plot childcare data by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode('view')tmap mode set to interactive viewingtm_shape(childcare) +
tm_dots(alpha = 0.7, size = 0.05)tmap_mode('plot')tmap mode set to plotting5.4.1 How to spot the duplicate points from the map shown
| Method | Description | Possible Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| Deleting Duplicates | Filtering the duplicates and deleting them from the dataset | Some useful points will be lost |
| Jittering | Add a small perturbation to the duplicate points so that they do not occupy the exact same space | |
| Marks | Make each point ‘unique’ and then attach the duplicates of the points to the patterns as marks. |
The code chunk below implements the jittering approach.
childcare_ppp_jitter <- rjitter(childcare_ppp,
retry=TRUE,
nsim=1,
drop=TRUE)Check for duplicated points in the geospatial data.
any(duplicated(childcare_ppp_jitter))[1] FALSE5.5 Creating owin object
When analysing spatial point patterns, it is a good practice to confine the analysis with a geographical area like Singapore boundary. In spatstat, an object called owin is specially designed to represent this polygonal region.
The code chunk below is used to covert sg SpatialPolygon object into owin object of spatstat.
sg_owin <- as.owin(sg_sf)The output object can be displayed by using plot() function
plot(sg_owin)

6.0 First-order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis
In this section, you will learn how to perform first-order SPPA by using spatstat package. The hands-on exercise will focus on:
deriving kernel density estimation (KDE) layer for visualising and exploring the intensity of point processes,
performing Confirmatory Spatial Point Patterns Analysis by using Nearest Neighbour statistics.
6.1 Kernel Density Estimation
This section focuses on the computation of the kernel density estimation (KDE) of childcare services in Singapore.
6.1.1 Computing kernel density estimation using automatic bandwidth selection method
The code chunk below computes a kernel density by using the following configurations of density() of spatstat:
bw.diggle() automatic bandwidth selection method. Other recommended methods are bw.CvL(), bw.scott() or bw.ppl().
The smoothing kernel used is gaussian, which is the default. Other smoothing methods are: “epanechnikov”, “quartic” or “disc”.
The intensity estimate is corrected for edge effect bias by using method described by Jones (1993) and Diggle (2010, equation 18.9). The default is FALSE.
kde_childcareSG_bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")The plot() function of Base R is then used to display the kernel density derived.
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)
The density values of the output range from 0 to 0.000035 which is way too small to comprehend. This is because the default unit of measurement of svy21 is in meter. As a result, the density values computed is in “number of points per square meter”.
Before we move on to next section, it is good to know that you can retrieve the bandwidth used to compute the kde layer by using the code chunk below.
bw <- bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp)
bw sigma
298.4095 6.1.2 Rescalling KDE values
In the code chunk below, rescale.ppp() is used to covert the unit of measurement from meter to kilometer.
childcareSG_ppp.km <- rescale.ppp(childcareSG_ppp, 1000, "km")Now, we can re-run density() using the resale data set and plot the output kde map.
kde_childcareSG.bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma=bw.diggle, edge=TRUE, kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw)
Note: The output image looks identical to the earlier version, the only changes in the data values (refer to the legend).
6.2 Working with different automatic bandwidth methods
Beside bw.diggle(), there are three other spatstat functions can be used to determine the bandwidth, they are: bw.CvL(), bw.scott(), and bw.ppl().
Let us take a look at the bandwidth return by these automatic bandwidth calculation methods by using the code chunk below.
bw.CvL(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
4.543278 bw.scott(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma.x sigma.y
2.224898 1.450966 bw.ppl(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.3897114 bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.2984095 kde_childcareSG.bw.CvL <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.CvL,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw.CvL)
kde_childcareSG.bw.scott <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.scott,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw.scott)
kde_childcareSG.bw.ppl <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.ppl,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw.ppl)
par(mfrow=c(2,2), mar=c(3, 3, 2, 1))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main="bw.diggle")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw.CvL, main="bw.CvL")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw.scott, main="bw.scott")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw.ppl, main="bw.ppl")
Baddeley et. (2016) suggested the use of the bw.ppl() algorithm because in ther experience it tends to produce the more appropriate values when the pattern consists predominantly of tight clusters. But they also insist that if the purpose of once study is to detect a single tight cluster in the midst of random noise then the bw.diggle() method seems to work best.
The code chunk beow will be used to compare the output of using bw.diggle and bw.ppl methods.
kde_childcareSG.ppl <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.ppl,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main="bw.diggle")
plot(kde_childcareSG.ppl, main="bw.ppl")
6.3 Working with different kernel methods
By default, the kernel method used in density.ppp() is gaussian. But there are three other options, namely: Epanechnikov, Quartic and Dics.
The code chunk below will be used to compute three more kernel density estimations by using these three kernel function.
par(mfrow=c(2,2), mar=c(2,2,2,2))
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.ppl,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Gaussian")

7.0 Fixed and Adaptive KDE
7.1 Computing KDE by using fixed bandwidth
I will compute a KDE layer by defining a bandwidth of 600 meters. Notice that in the code chunk below, the sigma value used is 0.6. This is because the unit of measurement of childcareSG_ppp.km object is in kilometer, hence the 600m is 0.6km.
kde_childcareSG_600 <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma=0.6, edge=TRUE, kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_600)
7.2 Computing KDE by using adaptive bandwidth
Fixed bandwidth method is very sensitive to highly skew distribution of spatial point patterns over geographical units for example urban versus rural. One way to overcome this problem is by using adaptive bandwidth instead.
In this section, you will learn how to derive adaptive kernel density estimation by using adaptive.density() of spatstat.
kde_childcareSG_adaptive <- adaptive.density(childcareSG_ppp.km, method="kernel")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive)
Compare the fixed and adaptive kernel density estimation outputs by using the code chunk below:
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main="Fixed bandwidth")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive, main="Adaptive bandwidth")
7.3 Converting KDE output into grid object
The result is the same, we just convert it so that it is suitable for mapping purposes
gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw <- as(kde_childcareSG.bw, "SpatialGridDataFrame")
spplot(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)
7.3.1 Converting gridded output into raster
Next, we will convert the gridded kernal density objects into RasterLayer object by using raster() of raster package.
kde_childcareSG_bw_raster <- raster(kde_childcareSG.bw)kde_childcareSG_bw_rasterclass : RasterLayer
dimensions : 128, 128, 16384 (nrow, ncol, ncell)

childcare_tm_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_tm_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_ck_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_ck_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_jw_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_jw_ppp, 1000, "km")The code chunk below is used to plot these four study areas and the locations of the childcare centres.

12.2.2 Performing Complete Spatial Randomness Test
To confirm the observed spatial patterns above, a hypothesis test will be conducted. The hypothesis and test are as follows:
Ho = The distribution of childcare services at Tampines are randomly distributed.
H1= The distribution of childcare services at Tampines are not randomly distributed.
The null hypothesis will be rejected if p-value is smaller than alpha value of 0.001.
The code chunk below will be used to perform the hypothesis testing.
